trip to SF

We all took a trip to the city to visit Mike (my cousin) and Marianne's baby. His name is Jacob Michael Sorani and he is adorable. It was me, my mom, dad, brother, aunt and the kids.










Maggie got a little crazy so Papa took her in their old elevator.


















Look at this view! The park was right down the street and it was the coolest park. There was a group of parents that were just hanging out, drinking beer and another group that were drinking coffee. I thought, this is the coolest place EVER!!!!







Papa and Maggie walking to the park! We had to hang on to her tight because there were some crazy drivers that don't see stop signs or people walking. My dad knows because he's one of those drivers in the city!!!!








Here's baby Jake!!!! So adorable!!!!

Easter & Teeth

Family Photo

Maggie was "reading" a book to Gavin and he was such a good listener!

Maggie loves being a big sister to Sean Jr. She comes over to me with the saddest look and says "Mooommmm, how come he's not smiling at me?" She loves to make him laugh so if he doesn't, her feelings get hurt!!!!

I was looking through pictures and realized that we haven't taken a family picture since the day he was born. We've had Halloween, Thanksgiving, X-mas, St. Patty's day & Easter and we did not take a picture together. Sooooo George took this one on Sunday before church!

Nice tinted glasses and creepy moustache!!!! NNEEEERRRRRDDDDDD

uh.... duh!

SJ moves around pretty good in his walker. We either find him under the table with Maggie or in front of the TV. His new words are .... "uh... duh... uh... duh... uh... duh" He's almost sitting up by himself too.

We let him cry a lot last week and we think were finally in the clear that he's sleeping through the night. I tried to put them in the same room again but one wakes up the other. It doesn't matter... one of them wakes up in the middle of the night.


This is my favorite new face now... i love it... he opens his mouth and screams... i think all baby's do it but it's still cute!











Handsome boy all naked. Why do babies love being naked? He's a pretty happy baby unless he's tired. He smiles and laughs and even plays by himself in his walker.










How are you fitting in a toddler bed especially eating 80 trillion Cadbury eggs. Sean gets so excited during Easter... he just slurps down those Cadbury eggs.









We tried to take pictures at the Picture People but they didn't work out. Oh well! I think they were a little shocked when we didn't buy any.

Next time!

LOOOOOONNNNGGGG Month!

Papa, Maggie and Baby Sean watching O'Reilly!

Maggie loves singing Happy Birthday! We have to sing it every day to Mommy, Maggie, Baby Sean and Bailey! Then we blow out candles and give each other "prizes". She sang Happy B-day to me again and Papa asked her how old I was and she said "ummm, 2 months!" Then we sang Happy B-day to Papa and he asked how old he was and she said, "Too many months!" True!



Maggie let me put pig tails in her hair and it looks like it's growing in a little more! She looks so grown up. She goes to pre-school once a week with Gabriel and she walks in with the most confidence I've ever seen in a 2 year old. She also helps the teacher put the toys away, clean up and pass out things!







This is what happens when I tell her to smile.

Sean worked 20 hours last Saturday night so he didn't come home on Valentine's Day till 3:00 p.m. He decided to stay up a little longer so we walked to Papa Murphy's and got a heart pizza. That's all we did for each other cause it's been a looooooonnnngggg month. We were all sick for 2 weeks, then we got better, and now the kids have been sick for another week. Baby Sean can't shake it and he's been up ALL night coughing and crying. AAARRRggghhhhh (not like a pirate but like a stressed out mom) Hee hee!




Here's my handsome boy who is almost sitting up by himself. We haven't figured out who he looks like yet. I think a good mixture! So far, his dad has given him the worst nicknames (Benjamin Button as a newborn) and now he thinks he looks like Sloth from the Goonies (especially from behind with the shape or misshape of his head and his big ears).

I have to say that being at home with the kids, cause their sick, has made me stop and truly appreciate them. I think sometimes we need to slow down on life (with 8 million activities and playdates, and go, go, go attitude). Just sitting down and playing games and just talking to Maggie has made me realize how fast she's growing up. Now is the time to invest in our kids!
Wow, I had a lot to say for only 3-4 hours of sleep a night in the last week!!!!

Texting!!!!!!!

Daddy: Who's cell phone is that?
Maggie: Mine
Daddy: Let me see.
(without looking at him, shows him her phone and continues to press the buttons)
Daddy: Hey, who are you calling?
Maggie: Nobody, I'm just texting!

Love Technology!

Carrie: Maggie, what are you going to be at my wedding?
Maggie: The flower girl!
Carrie: What's Gabe going to be?
Maggie: The dog! (AKA Ring "BEAR") At least she knew it was an animal of some kind!
